All NH Schools Required to Offer In-Person Instruction Beginning in March

At a press conference on Thursday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced that all schools statewide will be required to have in-person teaching starting next month.

According to a report from WCAX, by March 8th, all K-12 schools that have been teaching fully remotely have to offer at least two days of in-person instruction. Sununu cited mental health concerns as a factor into his decision.

This choice comes at a time when lawmakers are discussing several provisions in Sununu’s pandemic-related emergency orders, which include multiple aimed at schools and the authorization of emergency remote or hybrid teaching.

The governor states that he will sign the bill this Friday.
